We left Stratford and headed to the Blue Mountains in Central Ontario and three days of utter chilling at Westin’s Trillium House. This place was uberdeluxe and we had a wonderful time roaming the Village at Blue and just relaxing in our suite.

The first night we arrived, we opted to stay in and cook for ourselves, complete with a ‘club level-style’ predinner appetizers.

For dinner, we opted
for pasta alla The Olde Spaghetti Factory (in Toronto) with a duo sauce
of simple tomatoes and the dry, salty goodness of mizthra cheese. If
you’ve never tried this … do head out and find some of this unique
cheese and give it a go. We served this along with a simple salad and a to-die-for bottle of Donato D’Angelo Aglianico 2000, which was superb. Dessert was a Rocky Mountain Chocolate covered green apple (decadent!).
